The Full P.L.A.Y.

 

Take advantage of all that PlayCV has to offer with The Full P.L.A.Y., a program that runs every day after school. Currently being offered during the 2022/23 School Year at all nine Elementary Schools and both Middle Schools. The Full P.L.A.Y. is available to all students from Transitional Kindergarten (TK) through 8th grade.

​

The Program

The Full P.L.A.Y. is an afterschool program that is designed to provide enrichment classes and activities. Each day starts with students meeting at a central location, usually the Multi-Purpose Room, for a nutritious snack and to check in. That’s followed by a variety of activities which may include attending one of PlayCV’s classes, receiving school work support in Homework Club, participating in fun playground games and outdoor activities, or enjoying social engagement opportunities.

 

PlayCV offers two main types of programs.  The first is The Full Play, which is essentially a school-year long program that runs every day that school is open. The second type of program is our Enrichment Classes, an a-la-carte offering of classes that typically lasts one hour per day, one or two days per week, in 8-week to 10-week long sessions. 

​

Students enrolled in The Full P.L.A.Y. will get an opportunity to join two or more PlayCV Enrichment Classes during each 8-week to 10-week session. For a list of the various Enrichment Classes that are available each session, please see our course catalog. Students enrolled in The Full P.L.A.Y. do not need to also enroll in Enrichment Classes, as they may be already included. Prior to each session, PlayCV will reach out to get each student’s preferred classes and will make every effort to ensure they are placed in those classes.  However, other factors such as capacity, grade level, prerequisites and scheduling may make that impossible.

​

PlayCV ensures a ratio of one (1) instructor for every twenty (20) students. For TK and Kindergarten, the ratio is one (1) instructor for every ten (10) students. 

​

Schedule Options

The Full P.L.A.Y. is offered at each Elementary and Middle School site in the Castro Valley Unified School District. The program runs each day that school is in session, beginning at the last bell and with the latest pick-up time being 6:00 PM. It is also offered with a latest pick-up time of 4:30 PM. On school days where an alternative schedule is followed (minimum days), The Full P.L.A.Y. shifts to an earlier start time, but the latest pick-up times stay the same.  On days where there is no school because of a Holiday or staff development day, The Full P.L.A.Y. along with other PlayCV programs will not occur, unless otherwise offered and notified.

​

Students who are enrolled in The Full P.L.A.Y. are not required to attend every day. However, due to scheduling and staffing logistics, PlayCV is not able to offer a discount for a student who chooses to attend less than 5 days a week. We do, however, offer a sibling discount in the amount of 20% off the tuition or class fees of the oldest sibling(s) after one full priced child is enrolled. This discount is applied within five (5) days of a completed enrollment.

​

TK and Kindergarten students are met at their classroom at the last bell, and escorted over to the PlayCV program, whether it’s The Full P.L.A.Y. or one of our Enrichment Classes. All other students will meet after the last bell at a central location, typically the Multi-Purpose Room.

 

For TK students who are enrolled in a PM TK Class, PlayCV offers an option where the students can be checked in as early as 8:20 AM. A PlayCV Instructor will escort the student to their classroom at the start time. Then, at last bell, a PlayCV Instructor will meet the student at their classroom and escort them back to The Full P.L.A.Y. program until checked out.

 

Payment Plans & Cost

Once a student is enrolled in The Full P.L.A.Y., they will remain enrolled for the entirety of the school year or until withdrawn. The cost for the program is billed monthly, and is due at the beginning of each month or, in the case of the program being already in progress, at the time of enrollment. PlayCV offers payment plan options to best fit each account holder’s needs.

​

The cost of the program varies by grade level, and by which “latest pick-up time” is chosen. For simplicity, the average cost per month is shown below. The actual payment due, however, is determined by which payment plan option is chosen at enrollment.
